Where to Deposit the Flags.

The suggestion of the Star correspon-
dent to make final disposition of the
battle flags by depositing them under a
monument of reconciliation, has already
borne fruit. The Vtdette, a military
paper published at Washington, takes
up the idea and strongly advocates it.
But the suggestion of a seperate
edifice is obviously unnecessary. The
monument to General Grant in this
city is the proper place of deposit for
the colors carried during the war.
General Grant was an apostle of har-
mony and magnamity toward the van
Quished. The terms he proffered at
Appomattox were the charter of
reconciliation. We are quite
sure that if The question of final dis
posal of the flags were submitted to
the veterans of the war, they would,
by an immense majority, approve the
suggestion MADE in the Star, that if
they are to be preserved they should
be placed in the Grant memorial build
ing.
Let those who desire 70 remove this
question of the flags forever from the
forum of the public discussion, and
preserve the memories of our conflict
only as bonds of Union, help the Star
erect temple of peace worthy of the
great general who will repose there
and of the cordiality of patriotic broth
erhood his words enforced.-N Y.

st. Joseph Gazette: The representa-
tive power of Kansas is also wonderful.
The state has undergone almost count
less disasters, yet there is not today a
member of the Union more robust, pros
porous and hopeful. The child has al
ready been born that will see 100000
people occupying state where in 1860
famine stalked through village and
country place, and people were begging
for bread.

The Union Labor party of Ohio, held
a state convention, at Columbus, on
the 9Th inst, and put in nomination a
full ticket. A platform was adopted
which among other things, declared
'.that the natural agencies of produc-
ton and distribution are seized by syn
dictates, spectators and gamblers, to
whom every protective industry is COM
PEELED to pay tribute, &C." Against
unjust corporate power, against unjust
and unequal taxation, against laws
favoring the few at the cost of the
many. against specializing in and tax
ing the necessities of life, the Demo
cratic party has from the time of JEFF
ferson to the present day contended.

Our present war tariff levied upon
over three thousand articles Of COM
mon use, is monster piece of inJus-
tice, inequality and false pretence. 1t
has impoverished many industries to
subsidize a few. 1t has degraded
American commerce from the front to
an inferior rank on the high seas. 1t
cost the people five times more than 1t
produces to the treasury, Obstructs the
processes of production, and wastes the
fruit of labor.

George VS.. Gronlund.

There is IN progress controversy De-
tween Henry George and one Gronlund,
Socialist leader, out of which good
should come to the workingmen. If
they will follow its developments care
fully it may serve to show them that
everything recommended, even by pro-
fesSed labor reformers, as panacea for
labor's ills, is not necessarily good med
icine. Gronlund may indicate to them
the vanity of Georges remedy and
Georges arguments may demonstrate
that Gronlund is quack and that his
prescriptions are full of danger.
Gronlund insists that Georges land
confscation theory is itself the best
evidence of its inefficiency as a means
of righting labor's wrongs. The pur-
pose of confscating land is to abolish
rent, because rent is robbery, Oppres-
sion, imposition. But, says Gronlund,
so is interest, so are profits, so is every
form of charge by seller to buyer that
includes a penny in excess of actual
cost. If the intention is to prevent
robbery, oppression, imposition, it is
necessary to abolish all these as well as
rent, and if the government can confis-
cate land to abolish rent, it can contis-
cate all other forms of what is now
recognized as property to abolish the
other and equally onerous and unjusti-
fable methods by which labor is robbed
and oppressed. This is certainly log
ical. Accepting Mr.. Georges PROPOSE
ton as correct in so far as it goes.
Mr.. Gronlund's must necessarily be adj
mitted to be more fully correct.
Mr.. George replies somewhat eyas-
lively. He admits that possibly Mr..
Gronlund is right, but he insists that
land confiscation shall be tried first,
conceding, if that shall not fill the bill,
that the other remedies may then be
proceeded to. In this he is not open
and candid. He lodges. He is not
certain of himself or of his theory.
He admits that he may be wrong and
that his theory may fail.
Out of this conflict of doctors the pa
tent, the great laboring population,
should surely derive some wisdom. 1t
should open their eyes to the fact that
no step oan be taken in the direction
in which Mr.. George would lead them,
without involving progress, not from
poverty, but to destructive communism
menacing the very existence of the
whole political and social fabric.
No political party or social reform
can possibly be made to succeed in this
or any other country proceeding upon
the theories of either of these men.
For time large numbers may be de-
ceived by them, but sooner or later it
will be ascertained that it is not neces-
sary that the government should confis-
cate anything in the workingman's be-
half, that the workingmen themselves
would be the greatest sufferers by the
industrial Generalization any attempt
at such confscation would inevitably
rerult in.
Both George and Gronlund are prob
ably honest in their convictions. They
are advising according to their lights.
But the very best job they could ac-
complish for the people they desire to
serve would be for each to break down
the ether, a job which, if those people |
will follow their controversy thought
fully, they bid fair to accomplish.

Phil. Sheridan says, in speaking of
the captured flag incident: 1T was an
unfortunate affair." said he, land one
that should not have been presented to
the President, or, if presented, it
should have been fully laid before him
in all it's bearings. He acted manfully
and courageously when he discovered
his error, and 1 am glad he pomptly
cancelled his approval of the order to
return the flags"

Up to July 1st, 1887, there had been
1854 miles of railroad built in the
United States since January last, 500
miles more than was built during the
year of 1855. OF the 1854 miles built
this year, the Santa Fe system alone
built one sixth of that amount. 1t is
estimated that there will be nearly TO-
900 miles of track laid in the United
States during the year of 1887.

Republican Hatred of Prohibitionists.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The Prohibition third party crowd
of bowling idiots have nominated a
State ticket of nobodies. There is not
one of the names Oh the ticket ever

whole exhibition at Delaware has been
of effrontery and imbecility, and the
amount of ignorance and malice dis
played is surprising.

TO THE GIRLS.

glass socially now and then, is made to
feel that these things cannot be, II you

tolerate these things in its members; in

Alcohol will tremble on its throne, and

AsnEvIlLz, N. G., April ~
Seven days ago, Mr.. Jesse Faber, a
farmer living near here, disappeared.
All efforts to find him were unavail.
ing. This morning party ofhunters
IN this county were attracted to IA
lone spot in the woods by the bowling
of dog, seeming famished with
hunger, and so weak that he scarcely
managed to drag himself through the
brush, made up to them, and with
further howls ran off, then returning,
repeated the performance, they fol-
lowed the animal and came upon the
dead body of Mr.. Faber. The man
had plainly been murdered. A gun
shot wound was in his stomach. His
dog would not leave the body. The
affair was shrouded in mystery. Great
excitement prevails.

The remains of Abraham Lincoln

The remains of Abraham Lincoln
were, on April IA. the anniversary OF
his death, taken from the solid mason
~ directly underneath the obelisk,
where they were secretly deposited
and have remained for some eight
wears, Guard Of Honor having taken
charge Of them Immediately after the
the attempt by two Chicago thieves,
in 1876, to steal them, and there
placed them in solid masonry. On
removing them to the light the body
was found well preserved and the
features were clearly recognizable to
those present who had known him in
timately in life-twenty-two years
after his death. Mrs. Lincoln's body
was then brought out and the Monu'
ment Association receipted to the
Guard OF Honor for the bodies. The
bodies were then removed to the
north hall Of the monument aud
placed in vault OF masonry, Stag and
cement, from which, after it hardens,
they cannot be stolen. The sarcoph-
agus in the north hall, which was
generally supposed to contain the
remains, is still there.

Tho suicide of Lieutenant John
w. Danenhower, Of Arctic fame, is
announced. He was discovered dead
in his quarters at the Naval Academy
with bullet hole in his right temple.
He was found lying on his rug in
front OF his fireplace with tag tied
to his button hole, saying: send
me to my brother at Washington.
Although he has had mental trouble
since he returned from the A'ctic re-
gions, what immediately led to the
suicide is thought to have been the
recent grounding Of the Constellation
on its way to Norfolk, which he had
charge OF, and for which it is sup
posed he had fear of being court
martialed. Furthermore, he was
very intimate with young Robert w.
Gstewood, who recently committed
suicide OH the Carolina, and whom he
saw in death. 1t is supposed that his
death suggested tho mode to him.
His wife. formerly Miss Sloan, OF
New York. is away with her parents.
Lieutenant Eisenhower leaves two
children. He was about thirty-tivc
years old. and an intelligent and pol.
ished officer.
